TRXD is a Norwegian music production duo made up of Truls Dyrstad (born January 25, 1995) and David Atarodiyan (born January 24, 1992), respectively from Mandal and Oslo. The name "TRXD" came from the idea "Truls x David", and is supposed to represent both of their given names.
Truls Dyrstad showed an early interest in music, and started playing the guitar at a young age before he started to produce music later on. David Atarodiyan didn't start playing or making music until his teens, but quit his job and went on a hiatus abroad to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible. Although they both studied at the University of Agder in Norway, it was a series of coincidences and mutual friends that brought them together. [1]
TRXD was signed to Warner Music Norway in 2016 after creating a buzz around their remixes, mainly through American music magazine Billboard. [2] They released their first single "Wherever You Go" (featuring Hilde) in April 2016, and the song sold to double platinum by the end of the year.
